Love the staff, the room was perfect, the walk to the Metro station and the hospital (GWU) easy. We have stayed at this Inn often, and probably will again.

Everything. Great Place to stay in Washington DC. Great location, not only to all the sites but very close to metro station. Felt completely safe. We had a huge room, very clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Can't complain about anything from this hotel.

Fabulously friendly and helpful staff, throughout the hotel from the front desk to the restaurant to the housekeeping department.
Location was great. We walked 15 minutes to the White House and 12 minutes to the Lincoln Memorial.

Hotel staff were always very helpful. The room was a good size and the beds and pillows were so comfortable. The neighbourhood around the hotel is quiet and safe...with a metro station just down the road.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Let me be clear before I start, the staff were excellent through this whole thing I am about to recite. The first night, the room my 2 nieces stayed in was more than just sub-par. It was unacceptable.
Though we got there early and was checked into 1 of our 2 rooms, our 2nd room was not ready, and we went out sight seeing. When we came back that night, our 2nd room had been given away. My nieces were presented with a subpar room as their only option for the night, as the hotel was full.
One wall of the room was a temporary wall made by a room divider. The other half of the room was clearly a storage/meeting room for the hotel. My nieces could hear people in the other half of the room talking. The armchair in the room was missing a leg, so not possible to sit in. The hotel did make sure we got our 2nd room (right next to our 1st room) the next day, and gave my nieces wine and chocolates as a apology. I would have like the hotel to offer a discounted rate for the unacceptable subpar room, but that did not happen.
Despite this bump at the beginning of our stay, the hotel was nice. It was convenient and clean and I would stay there again. I would be clear which room I DID NOT want (Room 111). And, as a said, the staff at the hotel were excellent.

Bed was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was excellent. Metro and restaurants within easy walking distance. I was accompanied by my mother in a wheelchair and 2 adult nieces.
The room my mother and I stayed in for all 3 nights was clean and comfortable. Ditto for 2 of the 3 nights for the room my 2 nieces stayed in.

The staff were definitely the stand out - they couldn't do enough for you. When we arrived there was a smell of baking cookies which they put our every afternoon along with iced lemon water and fruit and lollies. They also had bikes you could borrow which was a real bonus. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

In my opinion overpriced and overrated. It's ok, but for this price I would expect higher standard of the room.

The hotel is hard to locate because the sign is not very visible. Worth finding though.

Can't think of anything.

The closeness to family in the area and the size of the room. All was perfect.
